Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Aches In The Leg And Swelling From Knee Downwards?
I have had DVT in the lower leg about 8 years ago. I think I may have it again in the same leg. My leg aches and feels heavy and my veins on top of leg have become much more noticeable and there is swelling from knee down. It feels bruised and aches pretty bad. Could this be a clot again?
there may be chances but has to be ruled out with a Doppler test. once the test shows report based on which the next course of action will be planned. also you can keep the leg over the pillow and do perform simple ankle toe movements and also some simple straight leg raise.
it will help you reduce the swelling and improve your overall health.
regards
